| Several Guilford Homes Burglarized
GUILFORD, Conn. -- A string of burglaries in Guilford prompts residents to lock their doors and keep an eye out for their neighbors. Channel 3 Eyewitness News reporter Hena Daniels reported six burglaries were reported this week, one of which was reported on Wednesday. Police said officers have responded to the areas of Old Miller, Little Meadow and East River roads and Goose and Wilburs lanes. Investigators said the assailant has forced his way into houses virtually uninhibited during the day. A victim told Eyewitness News that the assailant entered her house through a basement door. Daniels reported police believe the assailant may have entered houses through a window or doors, sometimes using remote garage door openers to gain entry into the houses.

'Midtown' unveiled; project aims to spur transformation of Upper King ...
Detailed plans have been laid out for Midtown, a long-planned hotel, condo and retail project on Upper King and Meeting streets, and the similarities with Charleston Place are hard to ignore. The opening of Charleston Place in 1986 is widely credited with revitalizing downtown Charleston, and particularly lower King Street. The developers of Midtown are hoping their $150 million project will be a catalyst for the upper end of King Street. .
Reaching for the summit
WE could expand controlled immigration from many nations to further diversify and enhance Australia's amazing cultural spread. My vision is to ensure Australians can easily gain work for minimum conditions and pay. We would see the return of government-funded university places with less focus on overseas full-fee paying students. VIVIAN PROW Home duties Social inclusion DELEGATES to the summit should consult. I would go out into my community and ask people what they think and ask them for solutions to take to Canberra. The best solutions will come from the widest possible input on the environment and cultural diversity, while sustaining a well-balanced economy. LEIGH HOWARD Student Economic infrastructure MY vision by 2020 is for Australia to become the leading expert for development of alternative energy resources, thus ensuring our prosperity.

Leeds weather Storm to claim world crown
A brief flurry of fisticuffs broke up a game of attrition where iron defence ruled, a handful of players from both sides racking up 30-plus tackles and another handful leaving the pitch injured. Leeds forward Carl Ablett then had a try ruled out after a slight knock-on chasing a Burrow chip over a flat Storm defence. With 15 minutes to play, Sinfield nailed a 30-metre field goal to stretch Leeds' lead to seven. Melbourne, who beat St Helens in the 2000 Challenge, had a late effort by Will Chambers disallowed after the winger stepped into touch when scoring to ensure there would be no repeat of their previous win. Leeds: 11 (S Donald try; K Sinfield 3 conversions, field goal) Melbourne: 4 (R Hoffman try) -AFP Tags: sport, rugby-league, nrl, australia, vic, melbourne-3000, united-kingdom, england .
